Cream Cheese Chicken Tamales

Chilito's Express Cream Cheese Chicken Tamales are one of our most popular items. Everyone loves the creamy chicken flavor, and since they aren't spicy, everyone can enjoy them.

Serve them with our Mild Kika's Sauce, or for those who enjoy a bit more heat, try our Spicy Kika's Sauce. Either way, our cream cheese tamales go so fast, you might want to get a secret stash to hide from the kids.

I ended up buying a dozen of the cream cheese/chicken tamales and a dozen of the cream cheese/jalapeño tamales as well {as the sauce}. Got home and tried all three, and OMG....the sauce is Serrano- based, so it doesn't take much, but it is SO D@%N DELICIOUS! And the tamales...out of this world, and I'm not EVEN exaggerating.

Do not bake tamales because they will dry out. Also, do not remove the shucks before heating.Tamales will keep for one week refrigerated and for several months in the freezer.

STEAMING
